Youtube, the video sharing platform was just in its early years when the 12-year old Justin Bieber was discovered. It was in 2007 when produced Scooter Braun accidentally clicked on Bieber’s video, with the then child Youtuber singing Chris Brown’s famous hit, With You. Braun was able to track the young singer and the next awesome thing happened – Bieber got the chance to perform for the multi-awarded singer/songwriter/producer Usher. Fast forward, Justin Bieber has sold over 15 million albums and has a net worth of $200 million.

After a dance class, 10-year old Natalie Portman and her mom decided to drop by a pizza place and just talk about how the day went – but fate decided that it was where her life will change for good. While casually enjoying her slice of pizza, a representative from a modeling agency approached her and offered her a job. However, Portman didn’t like the idea of people judging her by her physical looks so she instead, asked for the team’s acting agency contacts. Today, Natalie Portman is one of the top celebrities in the world, with an estimated net worth of $54 million.
